[Mailman-Users] problem with mailman handling incomming mail
Hi! I have mailman installed on my freebsd server. I am running postfix+dovecot with mysql support for my mail server. Everything is working perfectly except mailman gives error on incomming mail. Here is the error (I replaced my real domain name in the error message with mydomain.org): *This is the mail system at host mail.mydomain.org.

[Mailman-Users] Cannot Lock Mailing Lists
Mailman Gurus, I'm running Mailman 2.1.14 CPanel Version. When I try to update a mailing list with config_list or with_list, the program hangs. # ../bin/withlist fuustl-coffeehourchat_lists.firstuustlouis.org Loading list fuustl-coffeehourchat_lists.firstuustlouis.org (unlocked) The variable `m' is the fuustl-coffeehourchat_lists.firstuustlouis.org MailList instance m.real_name = 'fuustl-coffeehourchat' m.Lock() [never returns] I tried retarting Mailman.

I looked at the config_list of a CPanel Mailman mailing list:
list-name_domain-name.tld. It appears like a normal Mailing installation
except that the real_name = list-name Otherwise, the folders and files
are named list-name_domain-name.tld
That's the point. The script I posted with
mlist.real_name = mlist.internal_name()
will set real_name to the list-name_domain-name.tld name rather than
just list-name.
I am migrating some Majordomo Mailing lists to a CPanel Mailman installation.
So what are you really trying to accomplish? If you create the lists
with cPanel's list create process (as opposed to Mailman's bin/newlist)
they should get the appropriate real_name.
If you explain in more detail what you are doing and what needs to be
fixed about the lists' real_name, I can give you a script to do it.
If the issue is that you have lists with real_name =
list-name_example.com and you want to change real_name to just
list-name, put the following script in
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/rename_list.py
def rename_list(mlist):
if not mlist.Locked():
mlist.Lock()
listfullname = mlist.internal_name()
last_underscore = listfullname.rfind('_');
if last_underscore 0:
listname = listfullname[0:last_underscore]
else:
listname = listfullname
mlist.real_name = listname
mlist.Save()
mlist.Unlock()
You can then run that with
bin/withlist -r rename_list foo_example.com
to do the foo_example.com list or
bin/withlist -r rename_list -a
to do all lists.

So it looks like the 'mailman' user can access the config.pck.
So, how are you starting Mailman. Are you running
/var/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
Or something like
service mailman start
If the latter, what does the

If you create the lists with cPanel's list create process (as opposed to Mailman's bin/newlist) they should get the appropriate real_name. Mark, I can't use the cPanel Web Interface because I have too many mailing lists to create. If I use the Mailman newlist command to create list-name_domain-name.tld, I need to change the real_name from list-name_domain-name.tld to list-name. Also, I have to create my own entries in the /etc/valiases/domain-name.tld file. I found a program that will extract the needed information from the Majordomo files: majordomo2mailman.pl. I had to modify parts of the program to add the real_name and host_name, so I could create the list-name_domain-name.tld for the newlist command. I modified your python program to fit my needs: def rename_list(mlist): if not mlist.Locked(): mlist.Lock() mlist.real_name = mlist.internal_name().split(_ + mlist.host_name)[0] mlist.Save() mlist.Unlock() It works.
